SUMMARY:Carnality by Lina Wolff
DESCRIPTION:Read and discuss Scandinavian literature in translation as part of our Nordic Book Club\, now online! Each month we select a novel from some of the best Nordic literary voices. On October 4\, we’ll be discussing Carnality by Swedish author Lina Wolff\, out July 19 in translation by Frank Perry. \n\n\nAwarded a three-month stipend to travel and work\, a Swedish writer flies to Madrid\, where in a bar she meets a man with an extraordinary story to tell. In exchange for somewhere to sleep and to hide out for a few days\, he is willing to tell her the whole astonishing tale. What follows is an account of fantastic proportions and ingredients: the existence of a shadowy Internet TV show with a certain morality clause\, a threat to the storyteller’s life\, a diabolical nun\, and the story of a girl with a missing left thumb. The tale is also the precursor to a meeting between the writer and the infernal miracle worker\, Lucia—a meeting that ultimately forces the writer to make a fateful decision about her own inner essence.\n\n\n\nCarnality is a novel about the universal need for spirituality and truth—not to mention a good story—set in the seemingly unspiritual grimy underbelly of society.\n\n\n\n\n“Spellbinding…Wolff poses fascinating questions about the nature of morality and attachment throughout the propulsive narrative\, making for a triumph of ingenuity. Readers won’t want this to end.” —Publishers Weekly (starred review) \n“Astonishing…an adventure through underground society.” —Book Riot\, Must-Read 2022 Books in Translation
